Ukraine sent a legal request to Israel to arrest a ship with stolen grain, – Sybiga

The vessel in question is suspected of transporting grain cargo that was illegally exported.

Ukraine has officially appealed to Israel through diplomatic and legal channels with a request to take measures regarding the Panoramitis vessel. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga reported this on the X network .

In particular, the Prosecutor General’s Office sent a corresponding request to the Israeli authorities based on the decision of the Ukrainian court to arrest the vessel as part of the ongoing investigation.

As the Foreign Minister noted, the vessel is suspected of transporting grain cargo, which was illegally exported from a closed port in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine in violation of international law and Ukrainian legislation.

“This is not Twitter diplomacy, but a very specific legal and diplomatic request for international legal assistance that requires a response. We expect the Israeli side to take it seriously, and not respond with emotional statements,” Sibiga emphasized.
